1984 GMT 2 RootBeer 18K 16758 Never Polished

1968 GMT 1675 RootBeer 18K/ Steel nipple dial/SS
Even though Im not crazy about SS this is nice

I guess I like them both, but Im not sure which one to the pull the trigger on

For Rootbeer, I prefer the YG.

Not that I care much about vintage watches having been polished (most have), but I'm a little dubious of that claim here.

Now that you say something. I see it now.

What do you guys think about the SS mode shown there.

Hate to say it.... but I'm so sad the new ones look the way they do. However it does make my 1975 1675/3 and 1979 16753 that much more valuable and vintage.
No nipples? No jubilee band? Definitely the wrong color bezel combo and a generic sub looking dial?
Sad...... Really had high hopes Rolex was gonna dig back into their records and create the same watch for the same reasons. And who the hell drinks "rose" colored rootbeer?
To each their own, but it looks like a "flat - fizzed out New Coke" GMT.

From what I see it’s a hotch potch of parts made to look like a two tone root beer gmt. I’m pretty certain the two tone wasn’t available in 68 and certainly not with that dial. Franken at best.
